Worst vacation ever?

Question

Mine? A category five hurricane blew my hotel away. Literally all of it. It was a “back to nature” type place filled with huts right on the water. I was told people were finding pieces of it miles and miles away.

I spent the night and next day crammed into an arena with thousands of other people, many of whom had snuck in illicit alcoholic beverages. They proceeded to get drunk, argue and puke.

To top it all off, I was bumped off the flight home. And then when I finally did get on a flight, after much arguing and attempts at flirting in a foreign language (which actually worked...), I nearly got into a fist fight with this spidery looking woman who tried to get in line in front of me.

At least I didn't get sick. Or arrested. Because I used words with that woman that were so horrible and dirty that I’d only heard them in Scottish bars.

Answer 1

1) The car overheated on the way up to our campground. Wouldn't start with a line of traffic behind us; finally got it going and pulled into a gas station. Waited for it to cool down and gave it another shot.
2) We went through a small town, where we got lost, for about 3 hours until we found the right road.
3) The road was steep. 15% incline. Car overheated again. Pulled on to the side of the road before deciding to give up + head south, as that would mean downhill
4) Decided we should go to another campsite DOWN the road. $14/night. $6/wood. Not much in the grand scheme of things... but there's more.
5) Campsite was OK - too crowded, plus no real access to anywhere where I could bake in the sun.
6) Train comes within a few hundred metres of the campsite at 4am. Blair Witch Project re-enacted. Scary, scary sh*t.
7) Decided to give the tough road another shot. Leave in the morning
8) Almost immediately, we changed our minds, and figured a lake nearby would suit our fancy. Long gravel road, but we got there safe.
9) Perfect spot. Gorgeous. Finally we could relax.
10) Nope. Couldn't relax. Mosquitos. Everywhere. My camping mate = allergic reaction. Face swells up (along with the rest of her). After 5 hours, we were both bitten to ****, so we decided to move on.
11) Decide that it's best to just head back home - usually 4 hours. It's 5pm.
12) I'm going slow. The car is fragile. But it's not heating up too bad... oh nope... there's a huge explosion and anti-freeze sprays up out of the hood. Pull over. Check it out = the main hose going into the radiator has exploded.
13) Borrowed my mum's cell phone for emergencies. No service. It's the boonies.
14) Leave the car. Hitch-hike to nearest town with some tree-huggers. Called a tow truck.
15) They said they'd tow it into a town where we couldn't get to. Oh - but it's low priority, 'cuz there's nobody with the car. And oh yeah - no keys = need special towing equipment = $20
16) I remembered where some family friends of mine hides the key to their cabin, so I invite ourselves for a while. Nobody there for the weekend.
17) Garage is closed. $17 for a cab ride to get food out of the car and back to the cabin. Have to spend the night. It's late.
18) Sunday - day of rest. Garage closed again. Don't worry - they'll be open on Monday.
19) So this can't be too bad = free accomodation in a nice cabin in a nice town. Let's go for a walk.... and get caught in a downpour.
20) OK - let's go to bed. Sound good?
21) 4:30am - knocking on the door. Screaming through the window. The REAL owner of the cabin is here. I didn't put the key back. I put on my clothes quickly and let him + girlfriend in.
22) Can't fall back to sleep. I start cleaning the kitchen, etc.
23) Only 3 and a half hours 'till the garage finally opens.
24) Not open today. Not tomorrow either. It'll be a holiday. And since the rest of the world is taking a holiday today... why can't the mechanics?
25) We need to go home. $7 cab ride to bus loop. $22 each for Greyhound ticket to go home.
26) Couldn't leave a key at the garage. Mechanic doesn't even know who's car it is, what's wrong with it, etc. Had to return a week later to drop off the key, pray to god he has the right hose to replace it, and pray even harder that it won't cost too much. Wait until he's done working on it. Then continue to pray that my car won't break down again on the way home...
